BOSTON (CBS) – Boston’s top planning official told a business audience Tuesday that the city’s $28 billion in proposed development will continue to snowball, as institutional money and efforts to transform the local waterfront should fuel a flood of new projects in the years to come.

Meade’s comments came just days before the BRA’s board will vote on a slate of major proposals to build out massive amounts of space in the city’s Fenway, Longwood and Allston neighborhoods.

Those plans include The Winsor School’s blueprint for 430,000 square feet of new facilities, including a 10-story tower; Samuels & Associates’ Fenway Triangle proposal for 290 residential units, 225,000 square feet of office space and a smattering of retail and parking facilities; and Harvard Business School’s Tata Hall, a $100 million executive-education facility to be funded in part by a $50 million gift from the founder of India’s Tata Cos.

Those projects, if approved, should be accompanied by billions more in development throughout the city, according to Meade’s remarks.
